Description Please link back to =FantasyStock if you use this stock photo, and please [note] me. Thanks!! For more stockphotos, stockart, resources & rules, you can look here: [link]

Special thanks to NeuroSpine Center of Wisconsin and to NeuroSpine's affiliate, ThedaCare . Both granted permissions to me, so I could get there in the early morning to take a few photos. ...All for you to use in your art!

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Sorry that I couldn't step back more, but I had to take this photo from outside of the room. I was in a tiny space. I couldn't go into the room because the magnetic feild from the machine would have messed up my camera.

Question: Would anyone have use for an x-ray machine stockphoto? It was in use at the time that I took this photo, but I think I can go back again for more.

Have fun, Deviants!

I've been in one of these things three times. One time with contrast die. :3 Not a great experience.

Oh, I hear bad things about having to do it with the contrast... I hope you were ok! I dunno why I can take all the pain they can dish out at a beauty shop, but everything medical seems to be a hundred times worse.

Yes, especially when scanning the brain. I'm okay, no pitutary tumor. They couldn't tell at first. :3

Yeah... it would be great if I had no contact with my clients

Disturbing. Annoying. Can't understand that my work time is 8 hours a day and no more, besides I can catch a cold sometimes...

But generally speaking, it definately is interesting

Awww... Sometimes clients can be the worst part of doing business. (Any business.) But I'm glad for you that there are interesting parts to your job. Life would get horribly dull otherwise.

I'm just trying to see the good points of everything... otherwise my work would make me totally stressed.

Yesterday I told my "roommates" (spending 8h with same people every day gives me the feeling like we'd be living together ) that someone must be secretly pouring some sedatives into my meals, 'cause in most of time I stay cool and indifferent

Oh well... I suppose things look similar everywhere. If a shop assistant or beautician would agonize over mean klients, hospitals would be full of heart attack-cases

And to bore you more... I'll tell that before I started working I was... rather a naive, straightforward, gullible girl ;>

Now I'm trying to "reorganize" myself in order to stay alive in this reality.

Yikes! That's a bad memory from last year for me. I took pictures at the hospital too, but not in the room with that thingie... The bad memory is of the long wait and torturous pain of getting the contrast fluid into my vein, i burst a vein... pain pain pain pain and HUGE bruise and hump of blood under my skin later...
migraines was the reason i was there...

FantasyStock In reply to Creativeness [2007-02-28 06:46:26 +0000 UTC]

Oh migraines! I hope you're ok now. My mother suffered for many years from migraines. I have a deep empathy for anyone that has those. You poor dear!!

I've never had to have an MRI with contrast. (Thankfully.) I have always heard bad things about having to do it with contrast. It sounds miserable.

Sometimes it seems like the diagnosis (and the cure in some cases) is worse than the disease. But I do hope your headaches are better.

FantasyStock In reply to WarpedOrbit [2007-02-19 10:22:57 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I wish I had. But I didn't think it would be a big deal before I got in. And once I was in... Well, it seemed like the kind of thing that shouldn't be interrupted. Now I feel silly. I honestly didn't expect to be nervous at all.

WarpedOrbit In reply to FantasyStock [2007-02-19 16:32:38 +0000 UTC]

It was your first time? My first time was a bit more than 'boring' because I was in unbearable pain and I had to lay there without flinching. My second time was just boring, but I wasn't in as much pain so I could ignore that.

FantasyStock In reply to WarpedOrbit [2007-02-19 19:37:59 +0000 UTC]

Yeah... it was my first (and only) time. I went in for neck pain, and they found 2 bulging discs. (Not serious at all really.)

WarpedOrbit In reply to FantasyStock [2007-02-19 20:55:17 +0000 UTC]

My bulging discs are in my lower back and they cause me a lot of pain and problems...diagnosed as 'not serious', but I think that's relative. It could also be that the magnetic field itself made you nervous...literally.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

FantasyStock In reply to WarpedOrbit [2007-02-21 04:39:24 +0000 UTC]

OUCH! Yeah, bulging discs are very painful, but I've had good luck with yoga and physical therapy to keep it in check.

You know, I never thought of that... The magnetic field probably could upset the nerves. That makes a lot of sense to me.

I hope your back gets better!

WarpedOrbit In reply to FantasyStock [2007-02-21 14:34:08 +0000 UTC]

Bleagh...my back is as good as it's going to get. It's been over 6 years and I still have to see a chiripractor; that helps alot, but my back is now prone to 'going out' at the most inoppportune times. Last week I got sick and I coughed...and that sent it out. The most annoying thing is the unreliability because when the discs pop out I'm useless. I can't stand, bend or sit, I have to lay around with ice packs for a few days. I never could do yoga; I'm the most unflexible 'healthy' person you'll ever meet...even as a baby the doctors noticed that about me. I do use the yoga breathing though, it's helpful for my asthma. I'm willing to bet that manmade electromagnetic fields do a lot of surprising things to people and the environment...I wouldn't be surprised if it's a cause of beached whales.

FantasyStock In reply to WarpedOrbit [2007-02-28 06:42:17 +0000 UTC]

I agree with you about whales and electromagnetic fields. I think that's part of why people suffer from jet lag when flying in a plane against the sun.

As for chiropractors, I feel that my body resists chiropractic manipulatoin like yours resists yoga. I've never been in more pain than when I tried chiropractic manipulation. Even orthopedic manipulation hurts my neck and back beyond what I'd ever thought they could.

But to each his own, yes? We must listen to what our bodies tell us about ourselves. Everyone's medical cures are as individual as our fingerprints. (Which is kind of why I don't like the type of generic medical practices that we seem to have in the US.)
